Rep. David Clark, a tall, quiet Republican legislator from St. Johnsbury who had served in the House for 10 years, died Thursday. He was 85. Clark's passing comes just a month after the death of Rep. Cola Hudson, a fellow Northeast Kingdom Republican who served with Hudson on the House Government Operations Committee. ... Clark had served as St. Johnsbury town manager for 36 years. Fellow legislators said he brought that knowledge of local government to the Legislature and was an invaluable resource.
